: the contact stated while decelerating from 30 mph, the engine stalled. The vehicle was restarted immediately, and taken to a service dealer.

On may 27, 2005 my husband purchased a 2005 Buick Rendezvous cx plus. 3 times since the purchase the vehicle has stalled during our rush hour trip to work, 06/16, 06/20 & 06/27. Each time the vehicle was slowing down, once when entering a highway (route I-95 in PA) and twice when coming to a stop light on NJ route 130. I was with him each time it occurred. Fortunately, the vehicle restarted. My husband has taken the vehicle to the dealer, explaining the exact circumstances before the failure. Because the dealer could not duplicate the problem, nothing was done. This seem to be the same problem encountered by the 2004 Rendezvous for which gm issued a recall (#05v157000). The resolution was to replace the ignition relay. There is also a njtsa action number pe04075 that describes this problem for the 2004 Rendezvous.
